Extruded aluminum alloys, which are highly versatile, have relatively modest prototyping cost, good strength and corrosion resistance. Because there is no weld seam, the circumferential mechanical properties may be uniform and advantageous for hydroforming. However, surface defects such as die lines and pick-up can be generated during the extrusion especially due to imperfections on the die surface. In this study, the extent of the crack propagation caused by die lines is evaluated according to the deformed shape of the tube in hydroforming process. And when forming a extruded aluminum tube, the deformed surface of the tube frequently becomes rougher with increasing plastic strain. This is well known as orange peel phenomenon and it has a significantly effect not only on the surface quality of a final product but also on the forming limit. To evaluate the effects of the orange peel on the hydroformability, the inter-stage polishing has been performed. Through the several tests including hydroforming test, the effect of surface defects on the hydroformabilities are well defined.

Abstract This experiment utilized five Aluminum alloys with silicon content percentages of 7, 10, 12.6, 14.5 and 17(wt)%. Ultrasonic vibration was applied to improve the quality of aluminum alloys. Sono-solidification, in which ultrasound vibrations are applied to molten metal during its solidification, is expected to cause improved mechanical properties due to grain refinement. Observed by microstructure photographs was that grains became smaller and their shapes more regular. Using ultra sound solidification α Al appeared during ultrasound treatment the eutectic solidification time was longest around 10% compared with same condition experiment without ultrasound treatment.

The concept of an integrated indicator of quality of rolled metals, for example bearing steel 1.3520(EN), as a set of properties reflecting the quality of the profile geometry, surface defects, macro and microstructure and mechanical properties was considered. The qualitative evaluation of the achieved quality level, the calculation of the probability of occurrence of defects was made. The methodology of technology management on the basis of statistical relations of the studied quality indicators with parameters of industrial technologies in steelmaking and rolling shops was established.

The article discusses the problems of ensuring high-quality formation and normative properties of butt joints of the 1560M and 1980T1 (AMg6 and B48) aluminum alloys as applied to engineering. A method is proposed for joining materials by means of EBW using an electron beam sweep. Homogeneous and dissimilar joints have been investigated, heat treatment of joint from the 1980T1 alloy and a dissimilar joint from the 1560M + 1980T1 alloys is recommended. The paper also presents the results of mechanical properties testing, the corrosion resistance and the delayed fracture tests. A welding technology that makes it possible to obtain high-quality butt-welded joints from aluminum alloys in thicknesses up to 40 mm has been developed and implemented.

Abstract The quality of aluminum casts is necessary in order to reach sufficient properties required for application. The decreasing in the properties of aluminum cast mainly related with microstructure, especially with size and morphology of second phases. One of such second phases in aluminum alloys are the β-phases. These phases are unwonted mainly because of the decreasing of mechanical properties. The contribution is deal with influence of addition of Mn to affecting the formation of β-phases in the AlSi7Mg0.3 and AlSi7Mg0.6 cast alloys. These materials are used for application especially automotive industry. The results shows, that addition of Mn is not sufficient for affecting of formation of the Fe-rich phases in AlSi7Mg0.6 cat alloys, but in the AlSi7Mg0.3 this addition lead to changes in formation of Fe-rich intermetallic phases.

AbstractIn a series of test specimens made out of magnesium phosphate cement, their physico-mechanical properties–i.e., fracture toughness, Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus, and bending strength–were studied. Samples included in the study were either in their original moisture state or dried. Some of them were polished on their tension side to eliminate the effect of surface defects.

Semiconducting diamond films have the potential for use as a material in which to build active electronic devices capable of operating at high temperatures or in high radiation environments. A major goal of current device-related diamond research is to achieve a high quality epitaxial film on an inexpensive, readily available, non-native substrate. One step in the process of achieving this goal is understanding the nucleation and growth processes of diamond films on diamond substrates. Electron microscopy has already proven invaluable for assessing polycrystalline diamond films grown on nonnative surfaces.The quality of the grown diamond film depends on several factors, one of which is the quality of the diamond substrate. Substrates commercially available today have often been found to have scratched surfaces resulting from the polishing process (Fig. 1a). Electron beam-induced current (EBIC) imaging shows that electrically active sub-surface defects can be present to a large degree (Fig. 1c). Growth of homoepitaxial diamond films by rf plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) has been found to planarize the scratched substrate surface (Fig. 1b).

The article shows the need to develop diagnostic methods for monitoring the quality of lubrication systems, which makes it possible to study the dynamic processes of contacting elements of the friction systems of instrument mechanisms, taking into account roughness parameters, the presence of local surface defects of elements and the bearing capacity of a lubricant. In the present article, a modern diagnostic model has been developed to control the quality of the processes of production and operation of friction systems of instrument assemblies. With the help of the developed model, it becomes possible to establish the relationship of diagnostic and design parameters of the mechanical system, as well as the appearance of possible local defects and lubricant state, which characterize the quality of friction systems used in many mechanical assemblies of the mechanisms of devices. The research results are shown in the form of nomograms to assess the defects of the elements of friction mechanisms of the mechanisms of the devices.
